.....is now complete

Picked my 998 up on Saturday morning - fingers crossed for lots of dry sunny days.

Alomost makes the P1 sound quiet

The words FASHION and VICTIM spring to mind!!

Nice machinery but you could do sooooo much better with a little more imagination.

MV4 - nice bike mate, with a great plate to match

Looked at one of those as well, but the Ducati was calling me, plus the Duke was slightly cheaper

Edited to say the cans on those things are awesome

I think we're both lucky (but obvioulsy deserve it by working extremely hard and long hours ) - MV4 and 998

Edited to say nothing from Magic Boot on what I could have got

Mr Boot , thanks for the respect but please call me Magic !!

Both the P1 & Duke are overrated and overpriced pieces of kit, FACT. Also, both flatter the driver/rider on the limit. If this is what you wanted then fine but i consider a sports car/bike to command a little imput from me. Now then, Andy's MV AGUSTA someone with taste!! .

Only my opinion by the way and not a show of jealousy. As for my current exotica, lets just say its red and has 12 pots of joy!!

Sell that P1 and i can forgive the Duke.

Magic - as I have said before, it is all down to personal choice mate.

Mmmm....red and 12 pots of joy - probably couldn't afford one those if it is what I think it is - and if it's not a Ferrari, please tell. Not an old Jag is it?

As for flattering the driver, yeah probably; you can get away with alot in a 4WD car, but as for flattering the rider, have you ever ridden a 996 / 998 properly, not on the road?

Would be interested to see where it says the P1 and 998 are overated - over priced maybe, but so what.
